When someone in your world asked for help, they had usually stopped needing it before you could reach them. This release changes what they ask for.
They ask about what they cannot mend alone. A hungry soul goes and eats — that was never a prayer, it was an errand, and it was finished before you looked up. Now a soul asks when her health is failing, and there is nothing she can do about that by herself. You pray when you are sick, not when you are hungry.
Your hand is the answer. What reaches her is not a blessing on the fields nearby. It is Comfort, laid on that one person. You have to go to her.
Silence has a cost now. Nearly every plea used to settle itself while you watched — only one in twenty ended with no help at all. Now it is closer to one in two. If you do not answer, the asking ends another way.
And answering works. Reach the one who is asking and better than four in five prayers are answered, where before it was barely one in three even if you acted the very instant she spoke.
Pleas still arrive as often as they always did, about one every three minutes of play. What changed is that each one is now a request rather than a notice.
